About the Scheme
First introduced in 2008, the UCD Medicine Clinical Pathway is designed to recognise those clinical staff who contribute strongly to our academic programmes despite having no formal academic staff appointment. Appointments include hospital consultants, general medical practitioners, senior radiographers and advance paramedics who support clinical training within our undergraduate medicine, radiography and emergency medicine programmes as well as who lead or contribute to postgraduate education and/or research.
Applications
The scheme will re-open for promotion applications from October – December 2025. These applications will undergo a three-stage review (two internal, one external) during January – May 2026 and are expected to report out in June 2026. In addition to meaningful engagement in our teaching and/or research programmes, the School also requires promotion applicants to maintain an active academic profile on the University’s research information management system. Further details will be posted here.
First-time and re-appointment applications are welcomed at any stage throughout the academic year.
These applications are typically approved within 5-6 weeks of receipt of application.
The School would like to thank all our clinical faculty for their continued generous contributions to our academic programmes.
